=== Asheron's Order of Sentinels ===
Some [[NPCs]] can be readily identified by the [[tabard]] they wear.
Sentinels were admin characters run by volunteer players before Microsoft took over that job. In lore terms they were called Asheron's Order of Sentinels, as seen on the Advocate and Sentinel statues located outside of [[Cragstone]], [[Hebian-To]], and [[Zaikhal]]. They are now retired.


=== The Exploration Society ===
== [[Isparian]] Factions ==
The Exploration Society was created to help new arrivals to Dereth by giving them both valuable information and a purpose: to explore this new world. The group is based out of Eastham, though there are no officals or buildings there to signify it. Sir Candeth Martine was a member of the Society until the then leader betrayed him and traded him to the virindi. Martine would later take his revenge on the Society by killing its leader. When [[Throne of Destiny (expansion)|the Halataen Isles opened up]] the Exploration Society took over Elysa's training halls and established one in Sanamar as a neutal party to train new arrivals.
